About Orange Tree

Orange Tree pattern consists of large leafy trees with round fruit interspersed (presumably oranges!); many shapes have bands above or below the trees with a scale pattern.
This pattern is pictured in the mid-Spring 1912 Butler Bros Catalog and was advertised thru 1929.

Fenton made Orange Tree in both an amazing number of shapes and colors. There are also some interesting whimsies and variants in the Orange Tree pattern.
